Hazardous thermal decomposition products/Products of combustion
Products of combustion are carbon oxides (CO, CO2).
Special protective actions for fire fighters
Do not release runoff from fire control methods to sewers or waterways.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full face
piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
For non-emergency personnel
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Isolate hazard
area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering.
Environmental precautions
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:
Exposure to the spilled material may be severely irritating or toxic. Follow personal protective equipment recommendations
found in Section 8 of this SDS. Personal protective equipment needs must be evaluated based on information provided on this
sheet and the special circumstances created by the spill including: the material spilled, the quantity of the spill, the area in
which the spill occurred, and the expertise of employees in the area responding to the spill. Never exceed any occupational
exposure limits.
Prevent the spread of any spill to minimize harm to human health and the environment if safe to do so. Wear complete and
proper personal protective equipment following the recommendation of Section 8 at a minimum. Dike with suitable absorbent

material like granulated clay. Gather and store in a sealed container pending a waste disposal evaluation. Shut off ignition
sources; including electrical equipment and flames. Do not allow smoking in the area.
Section 7: Handling and Storage
Precautions for safe handling
Protective measures, advice on general occupational hygiene and conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, hot surfaces.
– No smoking.
Keep container tightly closed. Ground or bond container and receiving equipment. Use explosion-proof
electrical/ventilating/lighting, etc. equipment. Use only non-sparking tools. Take precautionary measures against static
discharge. No not breathe dust, fumes, gas, mist, vapors or spray. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not eat, drink or smoke
when using this product. Wear protective gloves, clothing, and eye and face protection. Keep container tightly closed in a cool,
well-ventilated place. Keep away from oxidizing materials and strong acids.
Store in a well-ventilated area. Keep cool. Keep in an area suitable for flammable liquids.

Appropriate engineering controls and Environmental exposure controls
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits.
Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source,
preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual
of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Individual protection measures
Hygiene measures
No special protective clothing is normally required. Select protective clothing depending on industrial operations. Use
mechanical ventilation equipment that is explosion-proof.
Eye/face protection: Use chemical safety goggles.
Skin protection
Hand protection and Body protection: Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab
coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Other skin protection
Wash hands and other exposed areas with mild soap and water before eating or drinking.
Respiratory protection: No respiratory protection required under normal circumstances. Approved organic vapor
chemical cartridge or supplied air respirators should be worn when significant vapors are generated. Observe
respirator assigned protection factors (APFs) criteria cited in federal OSHA 1910.134. Self-contained breathing
apparatus should be used for firefighting.
Respirator Type(s) (NIOSH Approved): If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, a
half face piece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn for up to ten times the exposure
limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier,
whichever is lowest. A full face piece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N100 filter) may be worn up to 50 times the
exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency, or respirator
supplier, whichever is lowest. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, Glycerin, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH
type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full face piece
positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in Oxygendeficient atmospheres.
